When the starlight shines no longer
Through the frosted window pane
And the winds of time blow stronger
Across a distant plain
When the tides of life cease rolling
Along familiar shores
And church bells halt their tolling
Drowning out sounds of wars
Then only at that moment
Shall my love for you to be nil
For it exists within the scents
Of each rose and daffodil
And in waking songs of the bluejay
And the cricket's nightly tune
My love for you brings each new day
And greets each passing moon
And with each dawn that passes
No shadows shall disguise
The true beauty which amasses
Within the glimmer of your eyes
